- Share via
Track and world record-holder TK’s Skipper made a successful return to Los Alamitos by winning a $12,000 invitational pace in 1:54 3/5 Saturday night.
TK’s Skipper last appearance at Los Alamitos produced a world record of 1:51 2/5 in the 1990 American Pacing Classic.
Driven by Rick Kuebler for trainer Nick Sodano, TK’s Skipper was last after a slowly paced first half of 58 1/5, then was forced three wide in the backstretch when his entry mate, One Bad Boy, and Ross Croghan’s Popsicle pulled out in front of him.
TK’s Skipper then took the lead after about three quarters and quickly opened up two lengths on One Bad Boy.
The entry paid $4 for the victory.
